they want coins.. want to lock em , put em in cold storage and wait ..5 years.. maybe a year who knows.. they control the money and so they choose how to spend it.
Sure, but you had to wonder why there was such low ask volume on Mtgox from 915-960 and yet the price was still going down. They thought they could reverse the trend yet they weren't looking at the bigger picture. The market order was up to 930. The price might go up now since some things have changed. But at that time I felt it was a terrible move.
I agree whomever could have got a much better deal etc, perhaps they thought they could as you say reverse the trend, but they should have at least waited for a lul in the dumping to try it mind you it was about 250 coins that brought it to 990
